The clerk at the bookstore had no intention of helping Lu Xinghe because he was wary of Jiang Gaoyi's identity. However, fortunately, Lu Xinghe was agile and strong. Three or five grown men really couldn't hold him down for a while.
After Chu Yue ran out of Wangchen Bookstore, she ran straight towards Qiyun Lane.
She didn't know many people in Nanping Town. Judging from Jiang Gaoyi's clothes, he must not be from an ordinary family. Perhaps only Huang Yuanwai could help her solve this matter.
Chu Yue didn't dare to waste any time on the road and arrived at Huang's Mansion in a short while.
"Steward Liu, open the door quickly."
Housekeeper Liu opened the door and saw Chu Yue leaving and coming back. He quickly asked what happened. When he heard Chu Yue say that she and Lu Xinghe were being bullied, he quickly asked someone to talk to Jiang Qingwan and lead the ten people away. A servant came and went to Wangchen Bookstore with Chu Yue in a hurry.
When the group of people arrived at Wangchen Bookstore, Xu Heng was sitting at the door of the bookstore holding his head, crying out in pain.
Lu Xinghe was surrounded by a group of people, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"Steward Liu, where is my husband?"
Butler Liu waved, and the servants behind him picked up sticks and surrounded the people at the door of the bookstore.
"stop!"
Seeing that he was a servant of the Huang Mansion, Jiang Gaoyi immediately stopped him.
Huang Yuanwai was admitted to the position of Yuanwailang by himself, and he did not donate money. If he had not wanted to stay in Nanping Town to benefit the people, he would have been transferred to the county to be the county magistrate. He still had some connections with the superiors. of.
He was somewhat afraid of people from the Huang family.
Jiang Gaoyi had a hint of flattery on his face and hurriedly raised his hands to bow: "How come Butler Liu has time to come here? I'm just teaching one or two disobedient untouchables. The Huang Mansion won't even take care of such things. Bar?"
Butler Liu raised his eyebrows: "Untouchables? Mr. Jiang calls my wife's niece and nephew untouchables?"
"Mrs. Huang's niece?" Jiang Gaoyi pointed at Chu Yue in disbelief, "Is Butler Liu talking about her?"
He didn't expect that a little girl he just messed with would have such a background.
There was a trace of ridicule on the corners of Butler Liu's lips: "Mr. Jiang, you used to be tyrannical in Nanping Town, but now you are blatantly bullying the people of my Huang family. This is not putting my family members on the outside." Is it in your eyes?"
When Jiang Gaoyi heard this, he quickly argued.
"What are you talking about, Butler Liu? It was Lu Xinghe who made the first move today. It was completely self-defense."
Chu Yue, who had just pulled Lu Xinghe out from being surrounded by Jiang Gaoyi and others, looked at Lu Xinghe's bruised and swollen mouth, his face full of anger.
"You lied! We are in self-defense!"
Jiang Gaoyi sneered: "Look at the people on our side, who is less injured than your man? Are you lying? There are so many people here who can testify for me, don't you think so, Brother Xu?"
He said, looking in Xu Heng's direction.
The person who originally made the first move was Lu Xinghe. Xu Heng was a scholar and was known to be stubborn. As the person involved, as long as he nodded, once Lu Xinghe was found guilty of beating people, the Huang family would naturally be in trouble if they wanted to cause him trouble. .
Moreover, as long as he wanted to, he could send Lu Xinghe to the Yamen to report to the official at any time.
Maybe the Huang Mansion will have to ask him to come here.
His father had been oppressed by Huang Yuanwai for so long, and he probably hated Huang Yuanwai very much. If he could let Huang Yuanwai beg his father, wouldn't his father want to treat him as an ancestor?
Looking at Jiang Gaoyi's confident face, Xu Heng felt disgusted with him for the first time.
He carefully recalled the scene just now, and it was indeed Lu Xinghe who took action first, but he did not want to be framed by Jiang Gaoyi inadvertently, so he told the whole process of the dispute between the two parties.
"...The whole story is like this. Although Brother Lu struck first, it was because Jiang Gaoyi made rude remarks first. If he hadn't made frivolous remarks and even wanted to rob a civilian girl, Brother Lu would not have beaten him."
Jiang Gaoyi heard Xu Heng's words, pointed at him and shouted: "Xu Heng, you are despicable, can you tell the truth, which one of your eyes saw me touching that girl? Our two families are family friends, but you turned your elbows outward like this? "
Xu Heng looked at the furious Jiang Gaoyi, his expression unchanged.
"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, it was Brother Jiang who asked me to testify just now, wasn't it?"
"you……"
Jiang Gaozhi gritted his teeth, knowing that he was in the wrong. He snorted coldly and wanted to leave with his people. Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, all the servants brought by Butler Liu were detained.
Jiang Gaoyi cursed: "Steward Liu, what are you doing? My father is also a Yuanwailang after all, and his status in Nanping Town is no lower than that of Huang Yuanwai. Why do you arrest me?"
"It's not that I want to arrest you. You have already done all the robbing of civilian girls. If I don't send you to the Yamen to have a long memory, will you think that my Huang family is a fool?"
After saying that, he waved and led a group of servants to lead Jiang Gaoyi and others to the Yamen.
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe and reached out to touch the purple corner of his mouth, with a look of distress on her face.
"Mother, do you feel pain?" She felt a little guilty, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't fight with others."
Lu Xinghe shook his head: "It's okay, I don't feel any pain."
"Actually, I didn't want to run away just now..."
Lu Xinghe touched her head: "I know you won't abandon me. It turns out that Yueyue is very smart."
Chu Yue smiled, turned to look at Xu Heng, and smiled slightly at him.
"Thank you very much Mr. Xu for today."
Xu Heng turned sideways and waved his hand.
"Girl, there's no need to thank me. I just don't like people doing evil in the street."
Lu Xinghe looked at him: "The Jiang family and the Xu family are family friends. You helped us like this today. If Jiang Gaoyi returns to the Jiang family, will he encourage Mr. Jiang to wait for an opportunity to retaliate and suppress the Xu family?"
Xu Heng looked unconcerned.
"Then they have to be capable. Brother Lu doesn't have to worry about this. My father is still supporting the Xu family. That old man in my family is not easy to fool."
After hearing Xu Heng's answer, Lu Xinghe and Chu Yue looked at each other and smiled.
This Xu Heng is quite a temperamental person.
Xu Heng looked at Lu Xinghe with confusion on his face: "Brother Lu, why did you come to the bookstore today?"
"Buy books."
"Four Books and Five Classics"? Xu Heng asked again.
Lu Xinghe nodded: "Yes."
There was a trace of excitement on Xu Heng's face: "It seems that Brother Lu is planning to continue the scientific examination? It's good, just in time for the college examination in March next year, and maybe he can come out on top."
Lu Xinghe smiled: "You have more confidence in me than I do in myself."
"Well, how many people in this world can pass the Tongsheng test at the age of nine? I took the test twice before passing." Xu Heng had unabashed appreciation on his face.
Chu Yue saw that the two of them were chatting well together and said hurriedly: "I have Master Xu to help me today. After we buy the books, we will go to Ruyiju to order two side dishes. Can I ask Master Xu to give me a favor and talk to my husband?"
